About Appeal

Background

The Reading Bus Club KL (TRB), a non-profit organisation founded by Mr Cheli Nadara and wife, Ms Kong Lai Mei, as a mobile library which has been running actively since 2009 in parts of Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Cambodia. It had started out from a van filled with cabinets of books for the children from the outskirts and villages to borrow and read. Later on, with helps from sponsors and volunteers, mini libraries are created at the back of the classrooms with colourful cabinets filled with new English story books. The kids are certainly ecstatic with the availability of the books for them to read and borrow.

Mission & Goals

TRB aims to reach out to underprivileged children to enhance their English language proficiency through activities like seminars, camps, quizzes and reading competitions etc. Also, this is done with help from teachers and volunteers from Malaysia and England. TRB also hopes to encourage children to read more in English and try to revive the reading habit which is slowly dying among the children with the advancement in technology today. TRB firmly believes that everyone deserves to be taught to read.

Relationship with Beneficiary

Aim of Project

We are a group of university students who came across TRB's mission and we couldn't agree more that English Language is commonly used worldwide. We had the pleasure to work with TRB in conjunction with the Children’s Day Celebration in Ijok, Kuala Selangor on 27 January 2019. We had experienced first hand on the level of English proficiency that the children demonstrated and their enthusiasm to learn the language. However, they lack the right resources to be able to do so. We had interacted with them through games and we were there to provide guidance to them as we’re touched by their willingness to learn. We realised that if they're given the opportunities, their lives would be different as they have the chance to pursue a brighter future.

Hence, we hope that you generously lend out your helping hand to support TRB's mission by sparing a few dollars so that more underprivileged children will benefit from your generous act.
